MULTI-PROTOCOL RS232/422/485

POINT-TO-POINT DATA TRANSCEIVER

The ComNet™ FDX70E(A,B)(M,S)1 series Transceiver unit is a fully-digital

transceiver designed for implementing full RS232, RS422 or RS485 2 or 4-wire

traffic signalization/communications data networks of the highest possible

reliability. A pair of FDX70E units (as FDX70EA and FDX70EB) can support

one full-duplex or half-duplex data channel. These transceivers also feature

data translation to convert between data protocols. These environmentally

hardened transceivers are ideal for use in unconditioned out-of-plant or roadside

installations.

Utilizing wave division multiplexing technology (WDM), only one optical fiber is

required between units. Linear and point-to-point topologies are also possible

using ComNet FDX72(M,S)1 models.

Bi-color (Red/Green) LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment

operating status. See Figure 7 on Page 4 for an explanation of LED indications.

These units are interchangeable between stand-alone or card-cage mount

configurations. See Figure A on Page 6 for mounting instructions.

See Figures 1 – 8 for complete installation details.

Optical Port A in FDX70EA connects to

Optical Port B on the FDX70EB unit.

Similarly, when used as part of a drop-

insert-repeat topology with the ComNet

FDX72 series, Optical Port A must be

connected to Optical Port B of the next

unit. Refer to Figure 9 on Page 6.

There are two virtual data channels shared between all FDX70E or FDX72 units in a system: a Master channel and a Remote channel.

The Master/Remote Mode switch sets the data channel used by the equipment connected to each FDX70E unit in the system.

The behavior of a Master and Remote depends on the data type (set by switches 1 and 2):

RS232, RS422, RS485 (4-wire)

One unit must be set to Master Mode, and the other unit should be set to Remote Mode.

When used here is no limit to the number of Masters or Remotes in a system as long as the connected equipment can handle

multiple Masters and multiple Remotes. Most applications requiring Master/Remote communications would use just one

Master and multiple Remotes. Masters can communicate with all Remote units, but not with other Masters. Remotes can

communicate with all Masters, but not with other Remotes.

RS485 (2-wire)

The concept of Master and Remote are not used with RS485 (2-wire) mode. Rather, the Master/Remote Mode switch simply

sets which of two independent data channels each unit will use. All Masters can communicate with each other, but not with

Remotes. All Remotes can communicate with each other, but not with Masters. When in RS485 2W mode, all units should be

set to the same mode.

FAULT CONDITIONS

TECH SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL FDX70E(A,B)(M,S)1

A fault condition is when a FDX70E unit system loses power or optical link. The FDX70E provides three LED indicators to help

identify when and where fault conditions occur in a system:

1. ALARM relay output

2. STATUS LED

3. LINK A and LINK B LEDs

When a fault occurs, the ALARM relay on every FDX70E in the system goes from closed to open. In addition, the STATUS LED

on every FDX70E in the system goes from solid green to solid red. The LINK A and LINK B LEDs can then be used to identify the

actual location of the fault based on their color and pattern:

Solid Green Optical link has been established between this optical port and the adjacent FDX70E over fiber.

Furthermore, every other unit in the system is also reporting that link has been established. There are no faults in

the system.

Solid Red Optical link over this port has been lost.

This could be due to a broken fiber, a bad connection, or loss of power at the adjacent unit.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

This fiber-optic link is supplied as a Standalone/Rack module. Units

should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of

temperature and humidity.

C1-US, C1-EU, C1-AU OR C1-CH CARD CAGE RACKS

CAUTION: Although the units are hot-swappable and may be installed

without turning power off to the rack, ComNet recommends that

the power supply be turned off and that the rack power supply

is disconnected from any power source. Note: Remove electrical

connector before installing in card cage rack.

1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up, and slide it into the

card guides in the rack until the edge connector at the back of the

card seats in the corresponding slot in the rack’s connector panel.

Seating may require thumb pressure on the top and bottom of the

card’s front panel.

CAUTION: Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.

2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of the

card is seated against the front of the rack.

WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 or LPS power supply.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:

A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may

be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to

installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum

ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such

that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not

compromised.
